@ Melvin: I hope you can get there before they close it. They’re supposed to close it this year for renovations.
WoW! I thought only the british museum had temples inside it. Thanks for sharing this. I hope i get to visit this place when i get a chance to return to europe.
@ Gladys: Thanks for dropping by. The Pergamon is really highly recommended for anyone traveling to Berlin.
@ Michelle: You’ll definitely enjoy it!
@ Julie: It’s hard sometimes to appreciate exhibits like this when there are so many people, but yeah, when you take the time to think about it, incredible is indeed the right word.
They´re artefacts of stunning scale – I mean, you don´t see a museum with entire buildings in it every day. I learned a lot during our visit. It was very busy when we went and the cashier as well as the coat check people were a bit cranky. But after moving on from those experiences, and entering the actual museum, we really enjoyed ourselves. When you stand in front of the Ishtar Gates and realize that this used to be one of the gates of Babylon..that´s just incredible..
I’ve been to Berlin a few times since I have a friend there, but never to the Pergamon Museum! I’ll definitley have to check it out the next time I’m in Berlin later this month! 🙂
Beautiful pictures you’ve got there! These museums will be additions to my long travel bucket list. Thanks for the tips!
@ Dana Carmel: Have fun on your Euro trip! So excited for you!
@ Claudia: I would love to live in Berlin for a few months so I can visit all the museums. There are so many there.
@ BertN: That was a really long time ago, Tito Bert. Time to visit it again!
I’ve been to Pergamon but it was so long ago(early ’70s)I can’t even recall what I saw there. I’ve been back to Berlin two other times but it never came to mind to revisit. Next time I will, thanks to your post.
It is indeed a MUST, I had the chance to visit it several times while living in Berlin and I never felt bored or disappointed, all the way round, I learnt new things in every visit.
I recently bought our tickets to visit the Pergamom Museum when we head to Berlin next month and I’m really looking forward to our visit. Your pics are making me excited! 😉
@ Kayla Seah: It’s definitely a must-visit!
@ Mike: It really is fantastic to think they still have it there intact despite its age!
@ Photo Cache: Me too!
@ Jewey: Thanks. I’m not much of a museum goer but there are some which I make an exception for hehe
i truly enjoyed reading this post. (and yes, i’m a sucker for museums. hehe.)
wow this has been an enlightening read. i haven’t heard of this museum before and it is interesting.
i love museums but i don’t get to many because of the admission price, above my budget usually.
The Pergamon Altar is absolutely amazing, Aleah. And the Ishtar Gate being built 2000 years ago just boggles my mind. I absolultely love that kind of history. Germany (and Tahiti) have been my #1 bucket list destinations all of my life. I have yet to get to either. So, I sure am curious on your first two post links which I’m going to go read now. Fantastic to hear from you! 🙂
I’ve been thinking about taking a day off to see the Pergamon for a while… you’ve just convinced me!
